So what? Kevin Spacey, Ed Norton and Samuel L Jackson all play these roles very well. You end up with an overall entertaining, if not totally original movie. Big deal. Original, amazingly good movies only come around once in a while.

So, you have to just enjoy the top end of mediocrity. No big-name movie will be perfect, because so many hollywood dipshits have a hand in it that it no longer makes much sense by the time it hits the theaters. You just have to live with that, point out the good things about a film, then move on to the next one. If you think it sucks, you're not alone. Get on your livejournal and bitch about it then.

2002-03 Celica.

That's a pretty good car. My first reaction was yes, so I checked on the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) and recall status of it. It hasn't had any recalls, and very few TSBs. The main purposes of a TSB is to give a warning to service departments about little problems they might run into, changes to the service manual and special repair/inspection procedures.

The 02 and 03 Celica have very few, only 20. Thirteen of those are standard fare that all cars of that year from that maker will have. Mainly the availability of seatbelt extenders, how to program the remotes for keyless entry, the procedure for replacing damaged VIN plates legally, general non-model specific data. Of the remaining seven, one is an "Inspect this" (front ball joint), one is a "don't do this" (don't drop the valve cover if you have it off), and one is a "here's the tool you'll need" (a special chisel to remove the drive shaft nut). That leaves us with four. Two relate to front suspension (a "vehicle pulls to one side" and a "steering wheel off-center"), both of which are easily solved. The other two are things you have to watch for - one is "rear hatch won't stay up" and the other is "poor sunroof glass durability." If you are looking at a used car, check for these. If you find a problem, take it to a Toyota dealer and they'll fix it for free. New cars will incorporate the new parts at the factory.
